BELLEVUE, Neb. -- The Bellevue University women's soccer team, under head coach Andy Nicolarsen, announced today the signing of Kylee Mastromonaco (Papillion, Neb.) to a letter of intent to continue her academic and athletic career at Bellevue beginning in the fall of 2017.
Mastromonaco is the daughter of Anthony and Tammy Mastromonaco and currently a senior at Papillion-La Vista South High School. She is an honor roll student and was a starter on their varsity soccer team during her freshman and sophomore seasons. Through two seasons she has totaled 17 goals in 19 games played and will play her senior season this spring.
Mastromonaco played the majority of her club soccer for the Papillion Galaxy, leading the team from the 2nd Division of NSL to the Premier Division over her seven years with the club. The Galaxy were coached by her father, Anthony. During that time, Kylee also played with Toro Soccer Club for Coach Jose Vargos and with EGA Maroon for Coach Marcus Kelcher, winning the State Cup and representing her age group at regional play.
Coach Nicolarsen said of her, "Kylee is the type of player that can play anywhere on the field and have an impact. She is particularly effective in the attack because of her athleticism, strength, and skill set. She has a natural feel for the game and is a competitor, but above all, Kylee is a great teammate, student, and person. I am thrilled to have her with us next fall."
This past season, the Bruins posted a 12-5-1 overall record and a 3-1-0 mark in conference play en route to claiming both the NSAA Regular-Season and Tournament Championships. BU closed the season on a high note, winning four-straight games and posting an 8-1-1 mark in their final 10 contests.
